What We Deliver
We provide a complete IT assessment – including process and technology skill sets – for an accurate view of both short and long-term business value
Organic growth has become more challenging. So many companies are actively evaluating mergers and acquisitions as an alternative way to increase revenue and profitability. Improved IT effectiveness and ongoing savings are an expected outcome of M&A activity. Because IT is a key business performance enabler, the assets, liabilities and additional technology investments required to support the vision of the new entity must also be assessed. Independent, third-party analysis is helpful in expediting due diligence to avoid large fluctuations in stock price, as well as filling in gaps where the acquirer’s IT personnel do not have experience with the target’s technology environment. The key to successful long-term business value is assessment of the IT personnel - not just the systems.
How We’re Different
How We Do It
How We’re Different
- We take a pragmatic approach, matching the level of effort and focus, to the circumstance. For example, if the decision has already been made to move the target to the acquirer’s systems we concentrate on integration and migration issues.
- The combination of our deep technology experience and personable consultants enables us to effectively assess the most important component of a company’s technology capability – their IT team.
- If we determine integration assumptions related to any IT factor are incorrect we will tell you so, unequivocally.
How We Do It
Our comprehensive methodology includes both an “as is” and desired state assessment and reporting of key factors such as:
- Overall business value
- Limitations, weaknesses and gaps in the architecture, infrastructure and applications
- Integration challenges
- Projected timing, costs, and value of planned and in-progress projects and new releases
- Strengths, weaknesses and retention probability of key personnel
